As a long-time Disney enthusiast who has shared my Disney+ subscription with family and friends far and wide, I find myself torn by this recent announcement from the House of Mouse. On one hand, I understand the need for companies to generate revenue and protect their content. On the other hand, I’ve always cherished the communal aspect of sharing the magic of Disney with those I care about.
Disney is encouraging users to limit their Disney+ subscriptions to their immediate household, or else they might need to pay an extra fee. Earlier this year, Disney announced stricter measures against password-sharing on Disney+ and Hulu. On Wednesday, the company introduced a “paid sharing program,” which allows users to either get their own subscription or be added as additional members to someone else’s account for an additional monthly charge.
Disney views a household as a group of gadgets connected with your main home where the residents utilize them. If someone who isn’t part of the household is using your Disney+ subscription, they must create their own account and pay the required fee: $6.99 per month for the Basic Disney+ plan (with ads) or $9.99 per month for the Ad-Free Premium Disney+ plan, by becoming an additional user on your account for a supplementary charge.
As a Disney+ enthusiast, I’m thrilled to share that I can extend my subscription privileges to someone outside of my household by using the Extra Member add-on feature. This option is conveniently accessible under the title “Invite an Extra Member to Disney+.” Once invited, the Extra Member can create their own unique profile with a personal login and password. They’ll be able to stream content on one device at a time. Please note that each account only allows for one Extra Member slot, and this feature isn’t available for Disney Bundle subscribers (which includes Hulu or Hulu and ESPN+) or those billed through partners like Max at the moment.
Furthermore, it’s possible for users with their own accounts to move compatible profiles belonging to individuals not living in the same household to a fresh subscription or Additional Member account. This transfer ensures that the profile’s watch history and settings are preserved (however, primary profiles, children’s profiles, and Junior Mode profiles cannot be transferred).
Users can continue accessing Disney+ while away from home or on-the-go by simply selecting “I’m not at home” and inputting a one-time passcode. The system automatically identifies and connects your account based on your subscription behavior, associated devices, and internet connection among other factors, as stated in the Disney+ support center. To link a device to your household, sign in to Disney+ while at home. Once logged in, the device will be connected to your Disney+ account and recognized as part of your household when it connects to your home network.
If the message on your TV reads, “This device appears not to belong to the Disney+ household associated with this account,” you’ll find options to either mark yourself as “not at home,” update your household details (should you have recently moved), or establish a new account if needed.
In various regions such as the U.S., Canada, Costa Rica, Guatemala, Europe, and the Asia-Pacific area, the paid sharing feature has been made accessible following its introduction in certain markets this past summer.
